    " i stopped believing in miracles a long time ago". the third year of the babylon 5 saga unfolds as the year 2260 dawns. the nightmare of all out interstellar war has become a reality and babylon 5 stands as a fortess of light against the tide of darkness which threatens to engulf the galaxy. the situation for the alliance looks grim the centauri have blockaded the planet used by the rangers, the covert force spearheading the fight against the shadows for annihilation, but hope is renewed when the prototype warship which could break the bloackage is revealed to captain sherdain.

    New era.. hide show

    In so many ways, this felt like new era.. I mean.. the war is here.. they are not "best hope for peace" as the beginning says. Now it is all about the victory and new people around. The rangers get more attention and they are brought to light and the way Ivanova know all that. It was stunning to see their looks. Also, the new ship is there. I mean, that with all others just feels like new beginning. And I adore that ship, the way she moves.. the flying. Beautiful.

    And some major developments on Earth side too and more intrigue, more questions but I like they started this "war" with a victory for them: maybe those shards of Black Star did brought some luck to Sheridan: impossible is still possible.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • Revealing Mistakes: In the opening shot there is an effects problem. After the repair crew is shown watch the stationary ring around the station. At at eight o'clock position there is a small shaded area the bottom of which flickers. []
  • The Drazi who provides Marcus with the necessary distraction in the beginning of the episode is not himself a Ranger. At that point of the storyline the Rangers were comprised exclusively of humans and Minbari. Other races started to enter their ranks at a later stage. []
  • Each season of Babylon 5 has its own title. The title for season three is “Point of No Return.” []
  • They decide to destroy the jumpgate in the Markab sector because all the Markabs died in Season 2 ("Confessions and Lamentations") and raiders have used the gate to pillage the place. Also, this is the first time they actually managed to destroy a Shadow vessel. []
More Notes
  • Sheridan (on blowing up the jumpgate): Are you ready?
    Delenn: No, but you may proceed anyway.
    []
  • Marcus: I don't like extortion.
    Thug: And I don't like insults.
    Marcus: Funny, with a face like yours I'd have thought you'd be used to it by now. []
  • Marcus: Her name is the White Star, and she is yours, Captain. []
